Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Āyah (آيَةٍ): A sign, miracle, or proof.
Tasḥaranā (تَسْحَرَنَا): To bewitch or enchant us; to turn us away.
Muʾminīn (مُؤْمِنِينَ): Believers; those who accept and trust in the truth.

Tafsir (Explanation):

The people of Pharaoh, in their stubborn arrogance, said to Prophet Moses (peace be upon him): "Whatever sign or miracle you bring to us, no matter how convincing, to turn us away from our current beliefs and way of life—we will never believe in you." They openly declared their rejection before even seeing any proof, driven by pride, stubbornness, and blind adherence to their false traditions. They even mockingly called his miracles "sorcery," acknowledging that these signs were powerful enough to sway people, yet they vowed not to be swayed themselves. This was not a reasoned stance but a hardened, prejudiced refusal of the truth, regardless of its clarity.

This verse highlights a profound truth: the heart that is sealed with arrogance and attachment to falsehood will not accept guidance, no matter how brilliant the evidence. The miracles of Moses were clear and undeniable, yet the response was not intellectual inquiry but outright defiance. This is a timeless lesson—faith is not merely a matter of seeing signs; it requires humility, sincerity, and a genuine desire for truth. When the heart is sincere, even the smallest sign can lead to guidance; when it is corrupted by pride, even the greatest miracle becomes a source of mockery.

A Call to Reflection:

Dear reader, let this verse be a mirror for your own soul. Do not let pride, habit, or social pressure blind you to the truth. The Qur’an itself is the greatest miracle—a living, eternal sign that calls to reason, heart, and conscience. Approach it with an open heart, and you will find in it the answers your soul seeks. The believers of old accepted the truth with humility and were honored; the rejecters, despite all signs, were left in loss. Choose the path of sincerity, and let your heart be a home for faith, not a fortress of denial. For the One who sent the signs is the Most Merciful, and He opens the doors of guidance to those who knock with truthfulness.

📜 Verse 130-134 — Al-A'raf

130وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.

131فَإِذَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا لَنَا هَٰذِهِ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.

132وَقَالُوا مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِ مِنْ آيَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."

133فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ آيَاتٍ مُّفَصَّلَاتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.

134وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
